Renovation 3:

This project was a rebuild after a devastating fire.  The home had some significant damage to the back side and roof structure and was heavily smoke damaged throughout.  The home was completely gutted.  All electrical, plumbing and heating systems were replaced with new systems.  The house now features two gas burning fireplaces, hardwood flooring, pine ceilings and a spiral staircase. 

Customer testimonial:
Jon, (and Scott and PJ),
We are so happy with our house!!! I can't even begin to describe what an
absolute treat it was to work with you and your crew. The demo was done in a
matter of days. And from that point forward you orchestrated the entire project
with the skill of a conductor bringing together the talents of many, for a
unified vision, and leading not just a symphony but an entire concert. We were
so struck by how superbly timed every step of the project was. You were always a
few steps ahead, thinking about the next phase of work, and the decisions and
details that the next step would involve. I love that you were able to listen to
what we really wanted, present options that were in line with our goals and
taste, and then work toward creating exactly what we wanted. There were times
when I wanted your opinion and you would evenly provide some guidance, but were
still absolutely willing to remain observant and let us figure out a decision
and then go with what we decided. We very much value that you insisted on
absolute competence, and every single person coming into our house earned our
respect and confidence. You seem to have a special talent for tile and stone,
and every time I look at our fireplace or master bath shower, I am in awe of how
gorgeous we find the end results. 

Thank you also for the simple things, like answering your phone, answering your
email, and  being available by text. We used all of these methods to communicate
with you, and I don't think I ever, not even once, got your voicemail. You
answer your phone, you respond to email, and you are there, (even on weekends,
or evenings when questions came up regarding the minute details of the project.
) We have worked with other contractors who did not respond to messages or would
leave for several days and not finish a job, and this was the absolute opposite
of the kind of work ethic you possess. What a breath of fresh air you are. You
told us we would be back in our house the very month that we were indeed back in
our house. This mattered a lot to us, having a child in school, and working with
insurance after our fire.

Looking back, after the trauma of a fire, I truly feel the fire was a blessing.
We were given an opportunity to re-build our house and our lives afterward. You
were a major player in that process, and with you, we had the unique experience
of deciding what to make even better and improving upon a house we already loved
and partly lost. There is nothing I would change going backward. You made our
hopes a reality. You helped us come from a raw numb hurt place to one of
absolute joy. I walk into my house and feel so happy. There is no smell of
smoke, there is no hint of loss, there is only beauty and quality craftsmanship
everywhere we look. All I can say is THANK YOU, from the bottom of our hearts.
We LOVE YOU!!!
Rebecca and Dave
